Attendees said the grant celebration was inspiring to see the good work other organizations are doing. More than $170,000 given to nonprofits to expand offerings CAROLYN WEBBER ALDER The Park Record The Park City Community Foundation gave Marielle Pariseau a chance when they awarded her a grant last year to pilot a program that teaches kindergarten students to floss and brush their teeth every day after lunch. It was a success in her eyes, but she was validated after the foundation again opted to fund the expanding program. At the foundation’s annual grant celebration on Thursday, it awarded more than $170,000 to 38 nonprofits that serve people in Summit County, including Pariseau’s nonprofit TeethFirst. Representatives from each of the grant recipients spoke about what they intend to use the funds for, which included mental health programs, youth summer camps and legal immigration services. Deanna Rhodes, marketing and communications manager for the foundation, said the amount of grants awarded was about $50,000 more than last year because of increased donations. John Hanrahan was honored with the Trisha J. Worthington Community Service Award for his work with the People’s Health Clinic, The Hope Alliance and the Park City Rotary Club. The Park City Sailing Association, which has received grants for the last few years, was awarded $1,500, said Ken Block, board member of the nonprofit. It Please see Grants, A-8 The Christian Center increases in size, scope More counseling rooms added to serve community’s needs CAROLYN WEBBER ALDER The Park Record Jim and Susan Swartz formed the Christian Center of Park City 18 years ago to meet as many community needs as possible. The center has stuck to its word over the years, but the cutting of the ribbon by the founders to signify the opening of its newly renovated space marked the beginning of the center’s ability to do even more. After a two-and-a-half-year renovation, the Christian Center of Park City is up and running in its new building, which is double the size of its previous one at the same location, said Rob Harter, executive director of the Christian Center, located at 1283 Deer Valley Drive. It expanded its office space, counseling center, thrift shop and food pantry, while adding a warehouse for donations and a special events room to provide more services to more people. Harter said the nonprofit hit capacity in its previous space a few years ago. It opened a second office in Heber City to control the growth, but maxed out again. At that point, the nonprofit started setting aside money for a remodel. A couple years later, Harter said he is happy the nonprofit made the decision, even though the construction took months longer than originally anticipated. One of the major updates Harter is eager to see in action is the additional space for counselors. In the previous center, Harter said only two offices were used for counseling. Now, the center has the ability to have 20 different counselors meeting individually with people. He said the decision to dedicate space to counseling was driven by an increased need in the community for mental wellness services, in part in reaction to the overdose deaths of two 13-year-old boys two years ago. “It became on everyone’s radar, and because of that I think we have seen an increase in destigmatizing mental health Please see Nonprofit, A-9 SO MANY WAYS TO PLAY ZIP, SLIDE, COAST AND DISCOVER.
